Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of handy hints that will help get your Aniak vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
